I’ll tell you something funny about Japan:

They’re very well-read, know lots and lots of stuff but there’s a puzzling anomaly:

With a surprising number of pretty educated people if you ask them who the Prime Minister is, they sometimes do NOT know. Or they’ll name the previous guy or the guy before that.

At first I considered it puzzling and then pitiful.

Much much later I figured it out —it doesn’t really MATTER who the Prime Minister is cuz in the end the ones REALLY running the country are the experts in the bureacracy:

Elections are sort of like Kabuki, where to this day in the audience are professional audience members whose job it is to laugh or scoff at the proper times, the better that others will know when to do so.

Sort of like a TV laugh-track for Three’s Company, or Hollywood Squares, or whatever.

And when I heard the rumors about who ELSE was at the Tarmac Lear Jet Meeting, I suddenly worried:

“Is the USA becoming the same way..?”

And when I see more and more the trouble Trump is having getting his hands on the real levers of power and how extravagantly comfortable his subordinates are about leaking, or talking about assassination, my feelings of foreboding grow.

Are we a secretly occupied country..?

Secret only to those too frightened to open their eyes.

If the Kennedy assassination cover-up didn’t do it what will?

How did the man who engineered the cover-up eventually end up as president? (for an admittedly short time)
